Making the Most of the Weather!

• Chaffinches sit like sentinels along the bare hedge as I walk along the track.On closer inspection I realise I'm wrong.On the south side of the track beyond the beck the hawthorn hedge is starting to sprout whilst on my side the buds are barely noticeable.
• A magpie flies across the garden with a twig in its beak and lands in a conifer in the corner of the garden where it is obviously building its nest
• My son comments that the spring weather has brought out all the cyclists and dog walkers this morning.
